Divine Chocolate Introduces Winners Of 'Divine Chocolateers' Competition



Divine Chocolate, the farmer-owned chocolate company, is delighted to announce the winners of the competition launched last year to find two new chocolateers. Erik Houlihan-Jong and Gloria Lilley now join David Greenwood-Haigh as the three Divine Chocolateers, offering delicious Divine demos and workshops.

The pair will be joining Divine on the Divine Chocolate stand (no 56) on Saturday 19th October at the world-famous Salon Du Chocolat show at Olympia to talk about their personal passion for chocolate, and will have some home-made chocolate treats to give away.

To be considered for the role Erik and Gloria both submitted a five minute video of themselves cooking with chocolate in the kitchen whilst talking to the camera about their passion for food. The pair have since been trained by chef and chocolate expert David Greenwood-Haigh who has worked with Divine for 8 years, and has since set up his own chocolate workshop business.

Divine Chocolate Marketing Manager Tal Drori says “We were looking for two special people to grow our team of chocolate experts, and, as Divine ambassadors, offer a Divine chocolate experience far and wide. 

Throughout the judging process Erik and Gloria showed great enthusiasm and passion for chocolate, for Divine, and the power of chocolate to make a difference, which made them our clear choice. It’s been great to watch them develop the confidence to put together all the knowledge they’ve learnt in the last year, with their own personal styles, and now put it into practice as they start attending events.”

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
